sport news Richmond Tigers AFLW star Jess Hosking is slammed for violent message - and ... trends now
Tigers AFLW star Jess Hosking has always had quite the reputation for her sense of humour, but that has fallen flat after the 26-year-old was slammed by the league for writing 'Kill B***hes' on her strapping tape.
She was pictured during Richmond's 36-point semi-final loss to North Melbourne on Saturday with tape on both shoulders that was covered in messages scrawled in texta.
Underneath the 'Kill B***hes' message was a reminder to 'HAVE FUN', and the league has sought an explanation from the Tigers over the explicit wording before hitting both Hosking and the club with an official warning.
